Electronic cigarettes will be banned in Uzbekistan starting March 1.
The law, which was signed in November 2025, prohibits not only the import and export but also the sale, purchase, and storage of both devices and liquids for them. Serious consequences are stipulated for violations of this law:
In the case of a major or repeated violation, criminal liability may ensue. However, if the offender voluntarily admits guilt and hands over the products to the authorities, they may avoid punishment.
